LEMBONGAN
ISLAND MAP
Lembongan
Island Facts
Lembongan Island is one of three islands just off the
southeast coast of Bali (Ceningan and Penida being the
others). Lembongan is a popular spot for surfers and
scuba divers seeking an alternative to the sometimes
crowded beaches of Kuta or Jimbaran. It has its own
resorts and sandy beaches for those who are really looking
for an island escape.
For me, however, it was an opportunity to walk amongst
some of the truly native Balinese villages, further
away from the glamour and glitter of the tourist traps
on the main island. For while Lemongan's resorts sit
on the southern part of the island, I instead combed
the northern half where the locals resided.
Unquestionably, there are great differences between
the two halves of the island, as a quick survey of the
beaches would point out. The beaches in the south were
manicured and cleaned, likely bolstered with imported
sand. The beaches in the northwest, with the more natural
pebbly-sand, loads of washed-ashore seaweed, and (unfortunately)
washed-ashore garbage. The buildings were obviously
weather-beaten.
This small undeveloped island is located just off the
coast of Sanur. Mainly visited by surfers looking for
isolated waves, and some day trippers enjoying the desert
beaches and clear water, this is a retreat for anyone
wanting a back to basics escape. Here you can unwind
and enjoy excellent diving and snorkeling, fishing trips,
exploring the island and local villages and island living.
Nusa Lembongan (Lembongan Island) is 20 kilometers off
Bali's east coast across Badung Strait. It is a small
island of around 9 km square, with population less than
4000.
The water is fresh and excellent and it's specially
for diving, snorkeling and surfing. You can enjoy uncrowded
atmosphere with warm and friendly local people welcoming
you. |
